Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Our institutions are so cowed, our public is so infatuated with the notion that you can invent your own truth, that no one feels they can simply be the arbiter of what is true and real, trusting the evidence of their eyes and ears. Truth is treated as a social agreement, a compromise position.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

A beautiful requiem for Bob Weir, who played rhythm guitar like McCoy Tyner played piano with his left hand, who evolved from the other one into the prophetic torch bearer of the Dead's legacy, ensuring the music never stopped.

Fare Thee Well, Ace: A Tribute To Bob Weir | Passion of the Weiss
A requiem for Bob Weir, the headlight on the northbound train, the rebellious teen who became the rambling man who became the keeper of the Grateful Dead flame.

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale.
It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment.

4/x Dem leadership shitting the bed on ICE is a direct result of the self-inflicted trauma of this post-2020 internal reckoning. They are terrified of attacking "law enforcement" without realizing that people, even moderates and nonpartisans, view ICE completely differently from city police.

And if my fellow middle-aged white men are at a loss as to what they should say, remember that "I'M SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS" always works.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

I will not vote to fund DHS & ICE while they are putting Americans in danger, recklessly violating laws and decency, and refusing to be held accountable for or allow any oversight of their actions.
Congress must provide checks and balances to an Administration out of control.
